Depression's Snare
Yearning for life’s bonds to set me free
Wishing for release from this internal agony
Praying for strength to concur these voices in my mind
Hope the ache in my heart subside to bring peace of some kind
Somehow knowing I must force myself to move on
Yearning for sleep to overtake thought before dawn
Knowing some choices are not for me to decide
Holding to principles yet feeling a loss of pride
Life must in time move from this loneliness
Can there be some release from this distress
Reaching understanding a blessed touch
Making it through depressions clutch
This is alittle strange I guess. Sometimes I think it is good to know you can get through this type
of thing. This battle has caused a loved one to come close to the edge. However for now she is
doing well. She learned to fight and win.
